1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,759 we've got something really cool this has been under wraps and under development 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,280 at ASUS for 11 months already and it's 3 00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:14,519 not even released yet we're looking at probably sometime later this year 2013 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,560 you guys are going to be able to get your hands on your very own Raider 5 00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:24,400 Express welcome to lonus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,279 is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,800 trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted netor working 8 00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:32,800 partner is 9 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:42,800 linkis this is a storage solution from ASUS which officially puts them in more 10 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:47,520 categories than I think anyone else in the Entire Computer component business 11 00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:50,039 but they are very very serious about the way that they're entering this category 12 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,840 I mean look at the way ASUS did networking where they came in you know 13 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:59,280 couple products and then boom all of a sudden ASUS Routers are all over the 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:03,320 place we might see the same thing here this is a PC Express 4X card we're not 15 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,680 able to talk about what kind of a controller it's using we're not able to 16 00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:11,439 talk about what kind of flash it's using I'm not even allowed to show you the back but what I am allowed to tell you 17 00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:16,400 is that this is going to look sweet with your R board and what I'm also allowed 18 00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:19,720 to tell you is that ASUS has taken 11 months to release this guy not only 19 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,680 because they care about the performance any Rog product performs this is a given 20 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:30,159 we already like I shouldn't even be saying this you guys know this already RG project product performs but this is 21 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:36,200 all about compatibility and interoperability it is bootable it is 22 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:41,640 fast so that's all good it'll also work so they validated with every active ASUS 23 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:45,320 chipset so it'll work on an ASUS board they're going to just say yes buy ASUS 24 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,200 board put this in it yay thumbs up if you buy an R board it'll look sweet but 25 00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:51,920 you know you buy another board it'll still perform awesome in fact if you buy 26 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:56,479 even a other more completely different board from another manufacturer they're 27 00:01:53,719 --> 00:02:01,320 validating that too so these are some of the issues that people had in the past 28 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,880 with these PCI Express based SSD Storage 29 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:08,840 Solutions mistakes made by other companies are to the benefit of someone 30 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,319 like ASUS because they can take that and go look we're not going to do it that 31 00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:15,879 way we're going to fix it I for one I'm extremely excited about this because 32 00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:19,560 frankly there's not that much stuff that you can put in a PCI Express slot I 33 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,239 consider myself kind of ridiculous as far as my computer goes I've got a dual 34 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,519 slot graphics card dual GPU which is enough for me I got my sound card my 35 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:31,599 Ballin essence zents or Zonar zents rather and then I've got a raid card so 36 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,120 this would be instead of a raid card attached to a bunch of ssds I could have 37 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,440 a raid card SSD thing going on in that slot and other than that I mean what 38 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:44,159 else can you really put in there capture card maybe I got a capture card so now 39 00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:48,760 we're going to have more options and because of that PCI Express 4X connector 40 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,760 we're moving beyond the bottleneck of SATA 36 gbit per second it's not fast 41 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:57,159 enough already and in another quarter from now when this guy sees the light of 42 00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:02,040 day it's going to be even not fast enough ER so PCI Express here we go 43 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,440 thanks for checking out this video and don't forget to subscribe make sure you catch all of our CES 2013 coverage and 44 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,680 we're going to amend this to the end there's actually a couple cool overlays 45 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:15,640 so you can overlay your own Crosshair and I'm afraid I actually don't know how 46 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:20,599 to do it but uh probably something to do with this game there you go aim point 47 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,280 for practice mode and you can overlay a timer for yourself so if you have say 48 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,280 you're an RTS player and you're like oh yeah I got to go check back on that 49 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,200 expansion base in 45 seconds you got your startup order you got it 50 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,159 you set up your timer that way you're able to check it and monitor it without 51 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:38,680 using like a phone stopwatch or something like 52 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,720 that 53 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,680 e e 54 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:31,240 thanks for watching Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate 55 00:05:27,240 -->
